I've done this road a few years ago and you get places that is very narrow. Not enough space to turn around with a trailer if a big ellie stands in the middle of the road. Didn't see much on it. Also 2 places where you cross very narrow low water bridges. If you drive it in the late afternoon with the sun setting before you it can get tricky to get over those bridges because the sun reflects on the water and you can't see the edge of the bridge.

I think the Voortrekker road is one of the best drives in S Kruger and no problem at all for a trailer....you have rare antelope..(Sable, Reedbuck, Lichtensteins Hartebeest, etc) Lots of White Rhino, and beautiful ship mountain..ja I would definitely go for it if I were in your position

At end of April, I woke a cheetah about 12 km from P/kop and it played in the road for about 10 minutes then trotted away from us and eventually off into the bush. When we got to Afsaal, the first left turn south of it had wild dogs about 50 metres down, on the road.

Whatever (according to BB): "You are correct but I don't want to admit it".

As far as I can tell, just general maintenance on it, possibly resurfacing and smoothing, I believe, from comments I have seen that it was in pretty bad shape before.So hopefully when its reopened at the end of October it should be in much better condition.

Hi, I also enjoy driving this road. That being said, I have only driven the road twice in December '11 for the first time! Very smooth surface. It really looks promising. Only major sighting was a hyena den, but will do it again!

For this reason we always make time to take a trip on that road when we are in that region - to remember them . I think it would be great to have a guide or booklet with a short narrative of all the places of interest which will guide a traveler interested in historical Kruger. I would enjoy undertaking such a historical journey from northern Kruger to southern Kruger .
